Welcome to the Friday 5! Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving. This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between! What I am currently loving: Cauli Berry Smoothie by Bare Nutrition Health This is my go-to breakfast every day. Part of the reason I do this every day is to eliminate one decision for the day. It also helps to simplify my grocery shopping each week as I know exactly what I need. I’ve started doubling the recipe each day, so Matt and I each have one for…

How to Train Your Hair
6 Tips for Getting More Time Between Washes One of my greatest accomplishments is being able to wash my hair only once a week. There, I said it. It’s life changing. To not have to wash my hair daily or even multiple times a week really makes getting ready faster than ever. My husband thinks this is gross and tells me I shouldn’t tell anyone I go that long between washes, but he’s not really my target audience here! Outside of the benefit of time, it is actually better for the health of your hair to not wash it daily. Everyday washing can strip your hair of the natural oils…

What I am currently loving: Lululemon Joggers Y’all know I am a sucker for Lululemon’s leggings from my post here, but these joggers might actually be my favorite Lululemon item. They are amazing. Like wearing your pj’s but looking more put together. The material is just right, not too warm or too thin. They have pockets, don’t fade and I get compliments every single time I wear them. …

It seems like these days there is only room for…

Spring Trend: Joyful Dressing
Springtime is the best time, am I right? I went on a walk yesterday and the smell of jasmine blooming all over our neighborhood just makes me so happy! Another trend for Spring is clothes that spark joy or “joyful dressing.” It’s no surprise that this is popular after the spring we had in 2020 where we basically never left the house. I saw a quote somewhere recently that said something about the fashion of the Roaring 20s. And how we will all be getting dressed up every time we leave the house now. I know I am more excited than ever to put an outfit together for an event…

Evolve Studios is a fitness studio with locations in Baton Rouge and Mandeville owned by Tayler Landry and Rachel Crockett. They offer a HIIT class called Burn and Evolve Pilates, which is done on the…

What I am currently loving: Alexa Pulitzer I had the pleasure of attending a dinner party at the home of Alexa Pulitzer and her husband several months ago. Her husband and Matt had done some work together and to celebrate the end of that deal, they hosted a small dinner party at their home. The food, company and hosts were all exquisite. During cocktails I asked Alexa what…

Spring Trend: Blazers With Jeans
One of the biggest trends for spring is blazers with jeans. Specifically, blazers with shoulder pads that are slightly oversized. I generally pride myself on not being too trendy, however, I knew I could make this trend work for me. Because I worked in a professional setting for more than a decade, which required a blazer more often than not, I’ve had my fair share of pulling an outfit together that involved a blazer. But a blazer, with jeans? I probably haven’t done this since college. Anybody remember that? With a broach? We rocked some pins on our blazers in college. So, I pulled out the one blazer I…

Why Tonal Outfits Are One of My Favorites
One of my favorite ways to put an outfit together is dressing all in the same tone. Tonal dressing has been my go to way to pull off an outfit since I saw this picture of Meghan Markle a few years ago. I was reminded how much I love it after seeing Michelle Obama at the inauguration last month. I even tried recreating Markle’s look at Matt’s company Christmas party that year. She is definitely a style icon for me with her effortless look and don’t even get me started on her go-to messy bun. I love this idea because it always looks timeless in my opinion. It’s easy to…
